4walls of reticulated material, as, for instance, wire mesh, and each basket has its horizontal cross section sector shaped. Thus several of the baskets may be arranged together to form a complete circle, as, for instance, in Figs. 2 and 4 the curved sides of the baskets areninety degrees in length so that four baskets constitute a circle.

In Fig. 3 each basket 8 has its curved side of one hundred twenty degrees in length so that three baskets complete the circle. With this construction the cross would have three arms and three hooks for'engagement by the Ahails 9 of the three baskets. A

In use', the orders to be cooked, as, for inst-ance, French fried potatoes, are placed in the individual baskets.. vThe pot or kettle having the fat receives the baskets as indicated in Fig. l.l After the material has been cooked, the baskets are lifted so that the bails engage the hooks and the fat is permittedto drip o'.

Referring to Fig. l, it will be noticed that Aeach basket. has on its bottom feet 10 for .engaging the bottom of the vessel 1 to supportl the basket out of contact with the bottom.

I claim:
